The Deck of Many Animated Spells is a series of DND 5e spell cards that animate to look like you’re actually casting the spell!

Do away with needing to carry around reference books and other abridged cards. These cards that are sure to cast a spell on your friends and players alike.

We’re working
with a team of talented
animators to flesh out all the
Cantrips. We are hoping to animate all the
spells in the Open Gaming
License (OGL) level by level, so help us hit
our stretch goals.

All 10 Decks have been unlocked!

Using the power of lenticular lenses, we've animated these spells cards by creating an 8 framed looping animation that, when tilted, come to life!

Here's what you should expect from one of our cards:

Unabridged: All the info relevant to the spell is on the card.

Animated: Each card features 8 frames of looping animation.

Tilt to Animate: Tilt the card up and down to see it animate.

Waterproof: No more party fouls with these cards.

Tarot Sized: The cards are 120mm x 70mm.

Material: Made out of plastic.

How the card frames look before it's animated.

Nothing will quench this fire bolt!

Animated Front, Blank Back

When we hit this stretch goal each spell deck will include Animated Blank Spell cards. The front will feature a unique looking animated effect and the back will be blank. So these can represent any spell or you can make your own to give to your players!

With this upgrade each spell deck will have exactly 30 spell cards, with the animated blanks filling up the empty slots.

Make the magic your own!

Alphabetically here's the first 21 SRD level 3 spells from Animated Dead to Major Image. Includes 9 spell craft cards.

Risks and challenges

The Deck of Many Animated Spells team has run two successful Kickstarter campaigns, has experience processing and shipping large volumes, and understands the time required to deliver a high-quality product.

Therefore, the challenge this campaign is making sure that the animations we produce look as great on the card as they do on our computers. We've also added extra time to the timelines to allow for additional proofing because we want to make sure we get these cards perfect.
